Rose-ringed Parakeet: Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India, March 2023 — Rose-ringed Parakeets are everywhere in Rajasthan and in most of India right up the foothills of the Himalayas, and there is sub-species common across a wide band of equatorial Africa. Escaped and released birds have successfully colonized many European cities, much of southeast England, cities in the near-east, and in Florida and California in the US. They are cold hardy, and feed on the seeds and berries of forests, parks, and at feeding stations. In India the are a crop pest. They are more parrot sized than parakeet. At Keoladeo, they defend several nesting trees near the roads year round. They are very active birds, and while you see a lot of them, they are not easy to photograph.
